CHROMATE CONVERSIONCADMIUM
Cadmium provides sacrificial corrosion protection for steels and excellent lubricity for threaded applications. It is typically requested by aerospace, 
military, nuclear, and off-shore oil and gas industries. The advantages of Cadmium include excellent corrosion resistance, low coefficient of friction, low electrical resistivity, good soldering characteristics, good formability, and consistent reliable performance. Southwestern Plating offers barrel, rack, automated, and manual Cadmium plating depending on your needs.
